Running the Desktop Client from a share requires that the client assemblies, help, and icons exist in the server share.
-
Create the new directory to be shared (for example: SPFDesktopClientRemote).
-
Copy the following contents into the new shared folder on the host computer with Desktop Client installed.
-
Copy all files and subfolders in the \Program Files (x86)\SmartPlant\Foundation\SPFDesktopClient folder.
-
Copy the \Program Files (x86)\SmartPlant\Foundation\Icons folder.
-
Copy the \Program Files (x86)\SmartPlant\Foundation\BitmapsMisc folder.
-
-
Right-click the SPFDesktopClientRemote share and select Sharing and Security.
-
Click the Security tab, and give Read permission to the users who will access the share.
-
Click the Sharing tab, click Share this folder, and then click Permissions.
-
On the Share Permissions tab, give Everyone Read access to the share.
-
The copied and shared directory structure should have no less than what is shown below:
-
The CurrentVersion folder contains the client assemblies, so the path to the executable would be similar to this:
\\<SPFServer>\<SPFDesktopClientShare>\CurrentVersion\Desktop_Client.exe
where <SPFDesktopClientShare> is the name of the share.
-
